Bradley Jay Fills in on NightSide - Rundown for August 21, 2025

Boston in the Seventies! Cultural archivist David Bieber, who was an important part of WBCN and WFNX, joins us this evening to chat about items in his archive that helped define Boston in the 70's. Included will be the detailed recounting of the night that Mayor Kevin White likely prevented a riot at the Boston Garden by springing the Rolling Stones from jail and getting them to the Garden in time to do the show! David was at that show and has the ticket stub. What events, venues, stores, restaurants, and more pop into your mind as helping define the seventies in Boston?

The Evolution of Pro Wrestling. Wrestling is mankind’s oldest and most basic form of recreational combat, tracing its origins back to the dawn of civilization. The WWE has made international stars out of wrestlers like Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Hulk Hogan, local John Cena, and Killer Kowalski to name a few. Ed Symkus, author and former host of the radio program Wrestle Radio, USA, joins us this evening to talk about the evolution of pro wrestling!

The Best Boston Restaurants. The New York Times is telling the world and Bostonians alike what the top 25 restaurants in Boston are with their “Where to Eat: Boston” list. Are we going to listen to what NEW YORK has to say about our restaurants? What do real Bostonians think are the best restaurants in town? Share your opinion with Bradley!
